as an NTSC analog or digital (DTV) transmission.
¨ HDTV or HD – A high-definition transmission contains 720 or more
horizontal lines. HD is transmitted only in a digital format.
¨ DTV – A digital TV transmission refers only to the digital encoding of
the picture signal that may contain either a high (HD) or low (SD) reso-

Compression Process 4:2:2
Compression of Video is accomplished via the following process. Since the eye is less perceptive to color changes than to Luminance,
1. Selective Sampling significant reduction of data can be accomplished in the Sampling

4. Hoffman Encoding or a bandwidth of 166Mbits/sec.
Video sampled using this technique is represented by a 4:2:2 sampling
structure. Y is sampled normally with R-Y and B-Y sampled half as much.
Selective Sampling
The number of times per second that you sample a signal is called its

sampling frequency. In Audio, the sampling frequency is 44,000 samples/ PIXEL Samples taken in the Horizontal direction up to 720 per Line
sec which is approx 2 times the highest frequency in Audio (20,000 Hz).
In contrast, Video is sampled at 4 times the highest frequency (13.5Mhz).

Temporal Redundancy
Data compression is accomplished by elimination of the high frequency
components designated by the zeros. Within Video scenes, there are many redundant frames. An example
would be an anchor person reporting the news. With the exception of
lip movement, the other portions of the frame remain unchanged over
time. This type of redundancy over time is called “Temporal Redun-

24 Frames-per-Second Storage
In video, what appears to be a continuously moving image is actually a
series of discrete still pictures, called frames. Every video frame consists
of two interlaced “fields”, each of which contains half the frame’s scanning
lines. A U.S.-standard video picture runs at roughly 30 frames per sec-
ond. In contrast, movie file operates at 24 frames per second. So the
movies you see on television, cable or videocassette have all had their
frame rates converted by a special machine called a “telecine”.
The telecine converts the 24 film frames into video fields. However, video
requires 30 frames or 60 fields and Film is 24. Telecine performs this
process by converting 12 film frames to 24 fields (2 Fields/Film Frame)
and another 12 film frames to 36 fields (3 Fields/Film Frame). It is kept
seamless by converting one Film Frame to 2 Fields and the next one to 3.
This cycle is repeated 2, 3, 2, 3 until the 60 fields have been completed.
This Telecine process is called 2-3 Pull Down.
To achieve maximum recording time, the DVD-Video disc is actually mas-
tered in the original 24 film frame format. This reduces the video bit rate
by 20%, even before MPEG-2 encoding. During playback, the DVD-Video
player performs the 2-3 pull down function to generate a standard 30 frames
per second video output.

Closed Caption
The luminance passes through switch IC2406, which adds closed caption

this caption information enters IC2406 as an RGB signal from IC2409.
The take off or input signal for the closed caption decoder IC2409 is at the
output of this YUV switch at IC2406/pin 22.
Filtering
When high frequency analog signals are sent into a digital stage, the high
frequency component can create a secondary signal. This second signal
is called an alias component. Alias signals are eliminated by low pass
filtering (LPF) the analog input. That is the purpose of the filter networks at
the output of IC2406.

This concept works perfectly for still images, because the two fields match
up completely. But on moving images, the even field is captured 1/60th
second later than the odd field. So a car traveling on the screen has
driven 1/60th second further down the street. And a baseball player has
slid 1/60th second closer to home plate. For this reason, line-doublers
require elaborate motion-detection, motion-compensation and memory
circuits. This can get expensive, with the better line doublers costing $2,500
or more.
How it works
The new DRC circuit is based upon a massive analysis of over tens of
thousands of High Definition TV picture patterns. Because there is a
fixed relationship between NTSC patterns and their HDTV equivalents,
Sony’s exclusive microprocessor can simply replace the NTSC signal with
its correct DRC counterpart. In operation, the DRC circuit accepts a digi-
tally sampled 13.5 M H z input and generates a quadrupled 54.0 MHz
digital output.

Twin View Picture
When Twin View is selected, the main picture path is through the MID IC.
This IC uses two external memories (IC501 and IC502) to hold the infor-
mation from each picture. When the information is needed, this can be
selected at the right time to produce two pictures on the screen simulta-
neously. The second picture comes from the sub picture information in-

OSD Operation
Character Manufacture
The on screen display circuitry within Main Micro IC3251 places channel
numbers and menu information on the TV screen. To perform this it needs
to identify the picture tube’s beam location by using vertical and horizontal
deflection (not station sync) signals. These signals are shaped into 5Vp-
p pulses which are input to IC3251/pins 95 and 97. Without either signal
there would be no OSD.
Main Micro IC3251 provides a visual indication of the user command. To
perform this characters are output as pulses on the respective Or, Og and
Ob outputs.

Converter 1 Stage
After the Main Micro turns on both the AC and degaussing coil relays, the
Main Relay output (ch 2) turns ON Converter 1 using switch Q5007. How-
ever, Q5007 acts like an AND gate, requiring a second input before con-
verter 1 is turned ON. This second input is a voltage that comes from
converter 2 (D5037). Therefore, converter 2 must be ON before con-
verter 1 can come to life.
Regulation is performed using a sample of the +135Vdc that is output. An
error voltage changes the converter’s oscillator frequency, which corrects
the +135Vdc.
Protection Stage
The protection stage has many inputs (see the Overall Protection Block
diagram). When a problem is detected, this circuit latches the Main Micro’s
power ON output to ground so the AC relay (and TV) shuts off. Turning off
the TV from the remote or front panel resets the latch.
The protection circuit monitors the following items and shuts the TV off if

The frequency and phase of the VD signal output IC1305 must be the

this. One input is the station sync that comes into IC1305/pin 28. The
second input is the sample of the vertical oscillator signal that enters

and phase of the vertical oscillator is corrected to match.

Testing a MOSFET device is easy. The leads show infinite resistance to
any other lead except for some power MOSFETs that have an internal
protective zener connected between the drain and source.
To prove the device is functional:
1. Connect the negative lead of the ohmmeter to the SOURCE lead.
2. Touch the ohmmeter positive lead to the gate, to pre-charge it.

PWM Output Circuit
This output circuit consists of a buffer (Q4015 and Q4014) which is used
to supply drive current to the gate of Q4022. An inverted pulse is output at
Q4022’s drain and applied through FBT T7002 to the horizontal output

On the D board, this pulse is amplified and inverted by Q7009. Q7009’s
source is receiving +135Vdc supply voltage that leaves from its drain lead
when turned on (conducting).
As with any MOSFET, when the voltage at its gate is kept at the source
potential, the MOSFET is OFF (no D-S current). As the gate voltage is
brought towards the drain potential, the MOSFET begins to conduct. Un-
like a transistor, conduction begins when the gate voltage is about 2-4
volts.
Therefore when the DF-V pulse brings the gate voltage low, Q7009 con-
ducts, passing the +135Vdc from its source to the drain. The input volt-
age of only 12Vp-p at Q7009’s gate is amplified to 135Vp-p at its drain.
The signal is also inverted. This signal is low pass filtered into a DC volt-
age by L7003 and C7032. The resultant DC voltage is applied to T7001/
pin 11. D7010 at Q7009’s Drain lead prevents a negative voltage there.
The negative voltage is caused by the collapsing field of the resonate tank
circuit connected to the drain lead.

the final dynamic focus correction signal (Q7012/drain) starts before the
FBT retrace signal and ends after it. This corresponds to the left and right Power MOSET D
side of the TV picture where dynamic focus correction is needed. This TO 220 case
signal is coupled by DFT T7001/pin 4 to the static focus voltage (FBT P or N channel
T7002/pin 16) for dynamic focus correction.

Field
There are three types of electron beam focus circuits used in this flat
screen TV:
Static focus – A DC voltage is applied to the picture tube’s focus grid.
This produces a line of focus points forming an arc pivoting at the yoke Beam
where the beam is swept. The focus point can be moved toward or away
from the yoke by changing the DC focus voltage. Neck
Dynamic focus – The electron beam must focus on the screen. Be-
cause the picture tube screen is flat and does not match the focus arc, the Dynamic Quadrapole Circuitry

Although the beam is focused on the screen, it is no longer round (spot 2)
because of the angle the beam strikes the screen. One side of the elec-
tron beam that strikes the screen (spot 2) travels further, forming an oval DQP Drive
instead of a circle. This oval shape is pronounced at the four corners of
the screen if this correction circuit becomes inoperative. This quadrapole Parabola 1 output from IC1604/pin 4 is current amplified by IC1601 before
focus circuit reshapes the spot by using the magnetic field from four coils being applied to the QP coils. Parabola 2 is inverted by IC1605 before
mounted at the picture tube neck. also being current amplified by IC1602. The inverted signal is applied to
the other end of the QP coils.
The four QP coils work in magnetic pairs; either pushing or pulling the
beam so it is oblong in transition but round at the target screen. The
diagram shows the effects of two facing QP coils:
